	Game Studies - A Meaningful Read: Rules of Play reviewed
		Still, even though Salen and Zimmerman spend 700 pages explaining why it does not have to be so, more observations about meaningless play, and the methods with which to convert the meaningless into the meaningful, would provide for a stronger concept.
		Salen and Zimmerman promise to give “clarity and form” to the design trade, and this is what they deliver.
		Because Salen and Zimmerman posit an ideal, theoretical player, who by average knows how to play and who is familiar with a number of gaming contexts, “meaningful play” is always a possibility.

	Game Studies - A Meaningful Read: Rules of Play reviewed

		The exceptions to this rule generally approach the subject of game design theory from a particular perspective, e.g., as a communication method or "future's language." [Duke: 1974] So when _Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals_ (by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman) was published by MIT Press in 2004, I took immediate interest.
		Weighing in at a hefty 672 pages of relatively small type, this textbook-format tome is, as the title might suggest, heavy on game design theory but light on practice.
		In this case, Salen and Zimmerman have handed the reader a fairly complete toolbox.
